The Petzl OK Carabiner is a lightweight, symmetrical oval aluminum carabiner designed for connecting equipment with a wide cross-section, such as pulleys, rope clamps, and mobile fall arresters. Its balanced oval shape helps connected devices load efficiently, while the lightweight aluminum construction reduces the overall weight carried by workers at height. The OK is available with SCREW-LOCK, TRIACT-LOCK, or BALL-LOCK locking systems to suit different professional applications.
Symmetrical Oval Shape for Equipment Connections
The symmetrical oval shape of the Petzl OK Carabiner is particularly suited to equipment with a wide cross-section. It helps maintain devices such as pulleys and rope clamps in an efficient position within the connector. The carabiner can also be used with a CAPTIV positioning bar, which helps favor loading along the major axis, limits the risk of the carabiner flipping, and keeps it integrated with the connected device.
The fluid interior design reduces potential catch points and facilitates smooth rotation of the carabiner. The Keylock system eliminates the hook at the body/gate interface, helping prevent the connector from snagging on ropes, anchors, and harness equipment loops.
Lightweight H-Frame Construction
Made from aluminum, the Petzl OK combines low weight with an efficient strength-to-weight ratio. Its H-shaped cross-section helps optimize strength while protecting the product markings from abrasion. The current professional versions weigh 70 g with SCREW-LOCK and 75 g with TRIACT-LOCK or BALL-LOCK.
Three Locking System Options
The Petzl OK is available in three locking configurations:
- SCREW-LOCK: Manual locking system with a red visual indicator that is visible when the carabiner is unlocked.
- TRIACT-LOCK: Automatic locking system with triple-action gate opening, designed for frequent handling.
- BALL-LOCK: Automatic locking system with triple-action opening and a visual locking indicator.
Black versions are available with TRIACT-LOCK and SCREW-LOCK.
